What a day!

This morning while I was taking a shower Andrew came into my bathroom, crying, saying he was bleeding. Sure enough somehow he sliced his finger and my mind started racing wondering what instrument I would find when I went downstairs. So I bandage him up, wiping away the conditioner that started running down my face, and forced him to stay in my bathroom until I could rinse completely off. Once we started descending down the stairs I saw lying at the bottom landing my large Pampered Chef knife, out of case. Seeing it lying there on the floor made me count my lucky stars that all he got was a little slice and didn't lose his entire finger. I have yet to find a sharper knife! Why Andrew sought out this knife is beyond me, but apparently he is too smart for my "kid proof" drawers now. I'm just glad he's okay.

A couple of hours later Cameron's bus came by to drop him off after kindergarten. The bus driver hands me a large garbage bag and starts to tell me how Cameron got thrown up on today by another classmate during school. I take a good look at Cameron and notice that he is wearing new pants and a sweater. He said his teacher has some extras in her class and that his clothes and backpack are in the bag. Let me tell you, I was scared to death to open the garbage bag because I didn't know what I was going to find! Luckily, the school was kind enough to wash off any gross stuff, but the smell was less than pleasant.

A few hours later, I returned from a lunch date and found a message on my answering machine from Austin's school. Seriously, the health room was calling! Apparently, Austin threw up at school and needed to come home. I swear the health room has got to be on a first name basis with Austin. After his bee sting incident, losing 2 teeth during school, a couple of minor injuries during recess and now this. I don't think my day could have had any more surprises waiting for me. Despite all the drama, it was actually a really great day!
